DISCLAIMER:Ā By providing information that Crime Stoppers will share with law enforcement agencies, you are providing an important and valuable public service.Ā We understand that disclosure of your identity might put you at risk.Ā We do everything we can to protect your anonymity.Ā However, that anonymity may be open to challenge in the following situations:
- A callĀ to Crime Stoppers made with the intention of āfurthering criminal activity or interfering with the administration of justiceā.Ā A party who is guilty of a crime cannot use Crime Stoppers to try to divert the blame onto someone else.Ā Crime Stoppers cannot be used to try to āframeā an innocent person.
- There is evidence that disclosure of some or all of a tip is necessary to establish someoneās innocence.
- A tipster having received the benefit of full legal advice may, for his or her own reasons, elect to waive the privilege.
- Do not send any sexually explicit images or videos because they will be forwarded directly to law enforcement and the senderās anonymity cannot be assured. These will not be treated as a Crime Stoppers tip and will not be eligible for a reward.
For a more comprehensive explanation of these principles, help us to help you by reading and understanding the āTipster Informationā on the Canadian Crime Stoppers website.
